- HOW TO PLAY DIRTY HEARTS

- The first card of each play is known as the trick
- card. If possible, each player must discard a card
- in the same suit as the trick card. If a player
- no longer has a card of the trick suit, then the
- player has the option of discarding a card from the
- trump suit, or any other suit.

- can only be played after a player runs out of the
- trick suit.

- card of the trick suit wins the hand. Each Heart card
- is worth 1 point, and the Queen of Spades has a
- value of 13 points.
-
- There is a total of 200 points to a game. The player
- with the lowest score wins the game.
